Rumors abound of KB having them in stock, but unless you work there or have a connection, it is a needle in a KB (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | There has been at least one occasion in the past where no new castle sets were issued in a year. I know for a fact that it happened in 1991-- exactly 10 years ago. (btw, 1476 does not count as a castle set). And while I too am disappointed and can't (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | Has anyone bought stuff from GetTheToys.com? I went to the website, and it isn't very professional -- based on the grammar and syntax, English is not their first language. It raises doubts in my mind if they are targeting the North American market. (...) (24 years ago, 14-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
